Don’t miss this dua when going to the masjid that the Prophet ﷺ taught. A beautiful prayer that multiplies your rewards and purifies your intention. This authentic supplication transforms every step into worship.
O Allah, place light in my heart, and on my tongue light, and in my ears light and in my sight light , and above me light, and below me light, and to my right light, and to my left light, and before me light and behind me light. Place in my soul light. Magnify for me light, and amplify for me light. Make for me light and make me a light. O Allah, grant me light, and place light in my nerves, and in my body light and in my blood light and in my hair light and in my skin light.
[O Allah, make for me a light in my grave… and a light in my bones.]
[Increase me in light, increase me in light, increase me in light.]
[Grant me light upon light.]

اللّهُـمَّ اجْعَـلْ فِي قَلْبـي نُوراً وَفي لِسَـانِي نُوراً وَفِي سَمْعِي نُوراً, وَفِي بَصَرِيِ نُوراً, وَمِنْ فََوْقِي نُوراً , وَ مِنْ تَحْتِي نُوراً, وَ عَنْ يَمِينيِ نُوراَ, وعَنْ شِمَالِي نُوراً, وْمن أَماَمِي نُوراً, وَمِنْ خَلْفيِ نُوراَ, واجْعَلْ فِي نَفْسِي نُوراً, وأَعْظِمْ لِي نُوراً, وَعظِّمْ لِي نُوراً, وَاجْعَلْ لِي نُوراً, واجْعَلنِي نُوراً, أللَّهُمَّ أَعْطِنِي نُوراً, واجْعَلْ فِي عَصَبِي نُوراً, وَفِي لَحْمِي نُوراً, وَفِي دَمِي نُوراً وَفِي شَعْرِي نُوراً, وفِي بَشَرِي نُوراً

Hisnul Muslim 19
In Islam, supplication (known as du’a) is a personal and direct form of communication between a believer and Allah (God). It is an act of worship that expresses a Muslim’s humility, need, and trust in their Creator. Unlike the formal five daily prayers, which follow a specific structure, supplications (du’a) can be made at any time and in any language, although many are rooted in Arabic and drawn from the Qur’an and Hadith.
Muslims use du’a to seek guidance, forgiveness, help in times of difficulty, or simply to express gratitude. Certain moments in daily life have recommended supplications, such as the above dua when going to the masjid, which asks for light, mercy, and sincerity in worship. Supplication reflects the essence of a believer’s relationship with God: it is intimate, sincere, and rooted in faith. It also serves as a reminder of Allah’s closeness and mercy, reinforcing the Islamic belief that no request is too small or too great for His attention.
